You honestly care in what fashion the ravens win?

You don't know what is going to happen. That's my point, too.

You can't say the officiating is going to be 50-50, all is fair, what a beautiful world.

I mean, I hope.

bigdaddy, I'll guarantee you if the Ravens win, Non will come on here and blame the officials on the Steeler loss. That's what most Steeler fans do.

I'm going to the game and will be staying over the parents house until Sunday. So I probably won't be on here either way until sometime on Sunday.

Ok. Seriously, have a great time. Suppose to get some nasty weather around game time tomorrow.

Also, it's tougher to see the replays when you're at the game so I probably won't know the truth if there is a disputed catch or something like that.

Blaming the officials is a dumb excuse for your team not winning, put the game away sooner so the officials calls won't affect the outcome. Same thing in boxing, don't blame the judges for you not winning because you couldn't finish the fight.

Do us a favor and leave this thread. All you do is post negative garbage on Pittsburgh threads because you hate them and once someone responds to it you get even more negative, especially when you're proven wrong! You're a so called "Boston fan", go to the Pats thread and let loose there.

Before you start with your stupid BS, you posted this on the make a wish thread:

I have posted there. I didn't troll on this thread so how about you straighted out the knot in your panties and calm down, ok? cool.

Agreed. Rather watch on the HD with a 6 pack that doesn't cost as much as a cup of beer.

Seriously, thanks.

I think it's supposed to be about 30 degrees with some flurries.

I like that because it's playoff weather but it probably won't impact the passing games.

It should be a great game. I act like it's life or death but that just makes it more fun. We all know it's not.

I'm not a soccer fan but you know watching a lot of those games the fans complain about the officials and they don't want their team to get a raw deal even if it's a very minor push. Same thing with a big NFL playoff game like this.

Don't worry Non will still find a way to blame them even the ravens win 65-0.

Like I said, anything can happen.

Blowout. Close game with even officiating. Or possibly there will be an officiating mistake that significantly helps one team over the other.

That's the reality of it. It's a live event with humans. No two games are alike and crazy things have happened before.

I probably won't blame the officials if the Ravens win, but it's possible based on how it plays out.

Well deserved.
Awesome news! Especially considering that it feels like the team probably would have gone 9-7 if not for him making game-saving plays in the fourth quarter as often as he did. He's a HUGE part of the reason they're playing at home tomorrow after getting a first-round bye.

^^ I think you're right about that. Troy's presence probably took them from 9-7 to 12-4.

Whose to say he won't make the game-changing play in this one, too.

I say that because you mentioned about spending weekend with parents. My parents are gone. You are fortunate to be staying with yours. That in itself would be a nice weekend.

prediction time

Baltimore is a tough team and dangerous. But I like what I saw from the Steelers the last time they were on the field. Even though it was against Cleveland, I think they looked ready. I also think the home field will mean more than the experts are saying.

Steelers 31
Ravens 19

I like it!

I'm debating on whether to go to a Steeler bar here in the city or not. My friends are talking about Hibernia. They say its the spot to be for Pittsburgh games, but I don't want to show up and it be packed....like you can't even move. I wan't to be able to have a beverage and actually watch the game.

Anyone ever been? Heard of it?

If the Ravens win, get ready for someone to blame the officiating. You do remember the 5 day cry session after the NYJ game a month or so ago, right?

That game was Dec 19th. Get over it. This is why many ppl think you Steelers fans are obnoxious. I hate to think id have to root for the Jets if there were an AFC title rematch.
